FAQs

  • Q: Can this container be repaired to work as a refrigerator?
    A: While technically possible, the cost of repairing a non-working refrigeration unit on a used container often exceeds the value of the unit itself. We sell these specifically for their insulated properties, not for refrigeration.
  • Q: Is the interior clean?
    A: Our used containers are inspected and cleaned to a reasonable standard. However, as used units, they may show signs of wear and tear, including minor cosmetic imperfections.
  • Q: What kind of foundation do I need?
    A: A level, solid surface is recommended. Concrete, asphalt, gravel, or even compacted dirt can work. We advise placing the container on blocks or railroad ties to ensure proper drainage and air circulation.
  • Q: Are there any leaks?
    A: All CoreBox containers are inspected to be wind and watertight (WWT), ensuring your contents remain dry and secure.
